Many of us may not be well-versed with the ZF services, but let us explain, they are one of the major components suppliers of the automotive industry. And now to expand its presence in India’s passenger car segment, ZF Services announced the launch of their most comprehensive range of passenger car components in India today. The range includes steering components from Lemförder for the popular mass segment cars such as Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ford and General Motors.

This marks ZF’s unrivalled commitment to supplying the independent aftermarket with OE-quality products and full technical support, targeting the mass Passenger Car segment in India. The offering includes 66 new steering and suspension components in India.

With this offering, ZF Services intends to tap on the rapidly growing passenger car segment in India, which makes up about 25% of the total Passenger Car segment in India. As a first step, ZF Services aims to capture 12% of the market share for Lemförder components in the mass passenger car segment by 2016-17.
